And that… was my first week at the Firm, ladies and germs. Not as a temp, but as a full-time, permanent member of staff. Yes Chicago, may trabaho na ako. Medyo weirded out ako na di ako super ecstatic about this good fortune, but I finally accepted the fact that it has largely to do with my ego. Kasi, after nearly a decade of working in Manila, I’m starting another career here, and starting it at the bottom of the totem pole. Kinda blows, but I really am thankful for paid work. Slightly higher than my temp gig of course, so okay na rin. What’s not okay, is B losing a gig. So really, our financial status is not that different when I was jobless. Hay… tama ba yun???

you are not alone, sister! madami din akong friends who, despite super flourishing careers back home, had to bite the bullet and start from the bottom rung. at least, you can say naman that you’ve been “there” and that’s not something anyone can just take from you.
so, kelan ang blow-out mo sa amin ni P?
